We are thrilled to welcome him to the team, and I look forward to working with him as he takes charge of our technology function to create the next generation of our digital trade finance products,” Pushkar Mukewar, CEO and Co-founder of Drip Capital, said in a release on 23 Aug 2021 from Mumbai office.
On joining Drip Capital, Gopinath said, “In the world that we live in today, large corporations have evolved to significantly influence our choices and exert an unfortunate dominance over smaller competitors.

His technical expertise and leadership will help shape and guide Drip Capital’s next growth phase while also building a team of highly skilled technology experts to continue the transition of Drip Capital into a fully digital trade finance company.
